I'm just afraid that her sister will pick up a little monster this time!
There was a lot of fun at the dinner table, but not long after, Lin Mengya received an invitation from the An family.
The person in charge of the reception was Uncle Rong, which was Lin Mengya's order early in the morning.
No matter who comes, there is no way to see any of them.
She just wanted to let the other party understand that it was easy to see them yesterday, but after passing that village, there was no such shop.
"Anjia has indeed climbed a high branch."
After Gong Wu saw the invitation, his face looked a little unhappy.
Lin Mengya glanced at him and asked Jun'er to take the child down.
"What kind of ability is that? If you really have the ability, you can let others cling to you. Okay, why are you angry? Anyway, we know what's going on. There is no need to be like them."
She was calm and collected, and there was no surprise at all.
"Look at what this invitation says. It also says that we have failed to live up to our previous hospitality and that we are holding a banquet to apologize. It sounds so nice, why did you only send one servant? Even Uncle Mao and Uncle Kun
None of them came, I think, they clearly don’t take us seriously.”
Gong Wu is right, the so-called apology must also be based on sincerity.
It seems that the An family is really perfunctory with the Gong family.
"What does it matter if people don't take you seriously? We don't live by the An family's appearance. In my opinion, it's better to go explore the situation first. It's time for the Gong family to settle these old accounts."
The time for the banquet was fixed in the evening.
The An family's house is not far from the Gong family, just across the street.
In the past, this also meant that the two families were close.
When the three members of the Gong family arrived, the place was already packed with guests, cars and horses.
Fortunately, the An family didn't do too much. Uncle Mao, whom they had met before, was waiting for them at the door, looking around.
"Uncle Mao, why are you alone? Where is Uncle Kun?"
Gong Wu just asked one more question, but Uncle Mao looked apologetic.
"Originally, it was our brother's turn to wait for you. However, His Highness Xi arrived just now, and I was afraid of neglecting His Highness, so I asked you, Uncle Kun, to go."
Murong Xi, is here too?
The three members of the Gong family looked at each other. It seemed that the An family was not as simple as apologizing.
"It doesn't matter, let's go in first."
After saying that, Lin Mengya and the other three followed Uncle Mao towards the mansion.
In the dim light, Lin Mengya saw a familiar figure.
She immediately stopped and wanted to take a closer look.
Unexpectedly, the figure turned a corner in the corridor and disappeared.
Lin Mengya wanted to chase after her, but Gong Si held her sleeve. "where are you going?"
Gong Si's question made Lin Mengya wake up.
This is my home.
He immediately lowered his eyes and hid his thoughts.
"It's nothing, I just thought I saw an acquaintance. It turns out that I was wrong."
Maybe, she saw it wrong.
But Lin Mengya's heart suddenly beat strangely, it must not be the case.
Anjia's dinner was much more lively than they expected.
Their positions were arranged in a more conspicuous place, but before them, several people had already taken their seats.
Lin Mengya glanced at it and it seemed that the An family no longer regarded the Gong family as their partners.
But this is good, as it saves her from taking action and having to worry about her past feelings.
She glanced around for a week, wondering, isn't Long Tianyu here? Why isn't he here?
"Everyone, I'm really sorry, we're late."
After they sat down, An Jia's talent arrived belatedly.
Although I have seen it in portraits several times before, this is the first time I have actually seen it in person.
From outside the banquet room, three people came in.
The leader was an old man with gray hair and beard, but he was actually in good spirits. His eyes were shining brightly, and you could tell at a glance that he was definitely not the kind of old man who had lost his fighting spirit.
Behind him were two middle-aged men, one red and one purple.
They looked somewhat similar, but the man in purple clothes was obviously much younger than the man in scarlet clothes.
They all had the same smile on their faces, but one looked reserved and steady, while the other looked shrewd and calculating.
They must be the two heirs of the An family, but now it seems that the fourth master of the An family is more skilled.
Probably because they raised a good daughter.
As soon as the three people appeared, someone immediately stood up and exchanged greetings with them.
Lin Mengya and the other three were still sitting there silently, looking a little out of place.
She saw that the eyes of Fourth Master and Ninth Master also accidentally passed them.
However, neither of them made any further comment.
It seems that they have indeed been abandoned.
Lin Mengya smiled and narrowed her eyes.
So, where should she start?
The old man of the An family took the main seat, while the fourth master and the ninth master sat on both sides.
Because it's just a private banquet, actually
The atmosphere is quite relaxed.
However, since they are all from aristocratic families, who would come here to eat and drink?
"I'm very happy that you all can come. Thank you all for not being disrespectful. I'm really ashamed of myself."
Mr. An's voice is as loud as a bell, he looks full of energy, and he seems to be in really good shape.
The invited aristocratic families naturally have to be polite to them, and everyone will do a business promotion. After that, it is time to eat, drink, and connect with each other.
In the crowd, someone familiar with the An family asked.
"Master An, didn't you say that His Highness Xi, King Yue and Princess Xianghua are also here? Why, they are nowhere to be seen now?"
"Everyone, His Highness the King of Yue and Princess Xianghua were also here. Unfortunately, Princess Xianghua was unwell and has gone back. As for His Highness Xi, everyone knows about the relationship between His Highness Xi and Princess Xianghua."
The person in charge of answering was Fourth Master. He deliberately didn’t point it out and made his words extremely ambiguous. .??.
Everyone immediately understood that the fiancée was not feeling well, and as the fiancé, it was natural for her to take care of her.
But they don't know that the sweetheart of the 'fiancé' is here.
Lin Mengya put down her tea cup and pinched the corner of her clothes.
It seems that someone is going to be in trouble.
"I heard that the eldest lady from the Gong family is also here. I wonder where she is?"
Many of them have just arrived in the past few days, and naturally they have never seen Lin Mengya.
But there was something wrong with the tone of her words. She was clearly treating herself as a rarity.
The old man of the An family glanced in the direction of the Gong family, hesitated a little, and then said.
"Gong Ya, come here and let the elders take a look."
This tone is quite intimate.
But just now, why didn't you see a look?
Gong Si and Gong Wu were unhappy, but after hearing this, Lin Mengya got up and walked to the old head of the An family.
After saluting, he said calmly.
"I don't know who wants to see me."
Everyone's eyes lit up and they saw the woman in front of them, who looked extremely beautiful.
I didn't feel it when I was sitting in my seat just now, but now it is more and more dazzling, like a bright pearl in the night.
"Is this the eldest lady of the Gong family? It is indeed different. I wonder if Miss Gong has ever been married?"
Lin Mengya glanced at the man lightly, raised the corners of her lips and said.
"I have never been married. Firstly, the elders in the family have not spoken. Secondly, I am waiting for someone else, and I can't accept my wife. What's more, my family wants to marry me?"
The implication is that I am too good and no one is worthy of her.
But that person didn't seem to understand. Instead, he pretended He came like an elder and wanted to teach her a few words.
"Although the rules of the Gong family are unusual, after all, women are women, and a man is still needed to support the Gong family."
Lin Mengya was most annoyed by this statement. Why did he have to be a man from another family who was better than the men from the Gong family?
If she didn't want to be the head of the family, she would naturally have to choose someone from among her brothers to succeed her.
For others, don’t even think about it!
"It's a pity that the Gong family's training cannot be violated. It's embarrassing to say that all the heads of the Gong family have been women, but they have also earned such a huge family fortune. I wonder what if it were a man? I will definitely do well after I go back.
I would like to read your family history and learn some good skills from men."
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and left calmly.
The group of men behind him couldn't say even a single word.
The palace family were all women, but they were so prestigious back then that even the royal family didn't dare to ignore them.
Their family was not even a family at first, but they still had the nerve to come here and teach her a lesson!
After returning to their seats, Gong Si and Gong Wu could probably guess what happened.
"A bunch of cowards! When the old master was still here, they didn't dare to say a word. Now, how can they show off their authority?"
Gong Wu spat at them and said angrily.
But Lin Mengya knew that she was not officially recognized as the head of the family now, and she really did not take advantage of her in terms of seniority.
If you tell me, others will say that you are just trying to give some good advice to the younger generation.
So, to make up for this, she prepared a secret weapon.
"Master Lian and Mrs. Lian are here——"
Outside, the boy hurried in to report.
The Lian family's status is second to none among the aristocratic families in Longdu.
Their arrival made Anjia attach great importance to it.
The head of the An family was overjoyed and went to greet him personally.
Soon, Master Lian and Mrs. Lian arrived at the banquet.
Patriarch An stood next to Master Lian, chatting and laughing, but from beginning to end, Master Lian's face was serious.
On the contrary, he seemed to be caring about the old master of the family, and was suspected of being cold-hearted.
When Mrs. Lian arrived here, her eyes ignored everyone and swept out without hesitation.
Until I saw her among the crowd.
"Ya'er, why did you arrive first?"
In the eyes of an attempted goodwill, Lin Mengya came forward with a smile.
"It's my fault, Ya'er has met her aunt and uncle."
Unexpectedly, Mr. Lian, who had always had a cold face, showed a slight trace of smile lines towards him.
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised. It turned out that Mr. Lian didn't know how to laugh!
